Because if it is just random luck as to what the box's name is, mine is just too weird.. .. On the Halo multiplayer wait screen, the name Chris is written above my Xbox. Funny thing is, that's my name. My name was also listed as player 1. For a split second when that screen shows up, there is a question mark (?) right above the XBOX logo that immediately changes to "CHRIS" in all caps. My name under player profile #1 is "Chris" not in all caps. Weird. Is there another way I can test this?

I never said that these names were uniques to each system. As a matter of fact, if you read my earlier posts in this thread, you'll see that my XBOX name 'SNAKE' is not unique.

I think it's just coincidence that it has your actual name listed. I think that's pretty cool. But you're right. A split second before the name is listed you see a '?' immediately replaced by the mystery name.

How about: "The Big Lovemuscle" :)

:lol:

I might have one of the more mundane names here. Mine is "Walla Walla." I mean did they just run out of english words?

Too bad it wasn't "Wakka Wakka".

I would LOVE for my Xbox to be named after my favorite movie of all time:

THE BIG LEBOWSKI!!

Seriously, My friends and I can't get enough of that movie. We laugh the whole way through it. Best characters ever!!

My Xbox shipped yesterday from Amazon (Had $390 built up in GC's). Can't wait.

I hope I get "THE BIG L" Xbox.

Nothing wrong with Walla Walla. It's a city in Eastern Washington, renowned for its onions.

I'm not exactly sure why, but my Xbox's name is exactly the same as my real name. And my name is pretty unique. I'm not sure if it's because the high score is currently held by my named profile or what.

Mine has my name as well. I think the xbox must have accessed a saved game file or something.

Do you guys play online?
It's probably picking up your name from there, but I don't know for sure. Like I stated in an earlier post, it's a "mystery" name.

mine is PLAYER 1 and sometimes PLAYER 2 for some strange reason....

I just checked mine -- "Dasher" what a freaking lame name. I'm one of Santa's reindeer.

I've heard that DOA 3 somehow changes the name. Perhaps when you enter your name by beating some record.

That's what I've read too. I wish I could give more concrete evidence but I don't enjoy fighting games (not anymore at least)so I've never tried.

And I bet he feels MUCH better about his name now after you told him that ;)
